“It definitely resonated with students. I had a couple of students with 504s come to me with tears in their eyes, saying finally, there was something that could articulate how they feel. I am hoping that next year we can do more. ”
“Superfest told me stories about people and issues I don’t hear anywhere else. It gives me empathy for a wider range of experience and continues to challenge my assumptions about disability.”
“Superfest is so critical, so valuable, so uplifting, healing, and inspiring. It was absolutely amazing to watch these great films, some created by Disabled folks, all featuring Disabled folks, and to know that all the Disabled folks in the room could access the films and have a similar experience to me. I think this is not only an important part of socio-cultural inclusivity, its also about family and friend inclusivity. It means that no one is left behind, and as a temporarily able-bodied person with a chronic illness that will leave me disabled in the near future, thats important to me and my disabled friends and relatives. Thanks, Superfest, for doing this incredible and necessary work. It felt good to be with you!”
“I love the blending of art, creativity, storytelling and advocacy.”
“Get folks thinking! Create space for artists, people with disabilities and general public to view and engage. Increase visibility and action around stigma, barriers, and also talent and success.”
“Superfest is important because there’s so much to know about the world around us. We need to continue to be curious, laugh, cry, be angry, celebrate, disagree, and explore. ”
“It was probably one of the most captivating and meaningful assemblies to me personally. It made me emotional and happy when I got to see all the effort into making those films, and hearing from the director himself was incredible.”
